Melphoe Self-Watering Hanging Planters - 2-Pack 6.5in Clear Pots with Reservoir & Chains

Melphoe 2 Pack Self Watering Hanging Planters are clear, lightweight 6.5-inch hanging pots with a built-in reservoir, wick system, and inner drainage to keep container plants hydrated for days.

These hanging planters combine a transparent outer shell, an inner perforated pot, and cotton wick ropes to create a low-maintenance home for herbs, succulents, trailing vines and small flowering plants. Designed for both indoor and sheltered outdoor spaces, they let you see water levels at a glance and reduce the frequency of watering—ideal for busy households, travel, or multi-plant displays.

How does the self-watering system actually work?

The planter uses a double-layer design: an inner pot with drainage holes sits inside a transparent outer reservoir. Cotton wick ropes extend from the inner pot into the reservoir so moisture moves upward by capillary action, keeping the soil consistently damp without waterlogging.

• Inner pot with 12 drainage holes to prevent root saturation
• Wick ropes draw stored water into the root zone as needed
• Reservoir holds enough water for roughly two weeks depending on plant size and conditions

Can I hang these outside, and will they last in changing weather?

Yes—these planters are built from high-strength PET material and fitted with plated chains and triple hooks for secure hanging. The materials resist fading, cracking, and peeling so the pots remain functional and attractive on patios, balconies, or covered porches.

• High-tenacity PET resists sun damage and seasonal temperature swings
• Thick plated chains minimize rust and corrosion
• Triple-hook attachment improves stability for windy spots

What kinds of plants are suitable for a 6.5-inch Melphoe hanging planter?

These pots work well with a wide variety of small houseplants and outdoor ornamentals that prefer consistent moisture or trailing growth. They're especially handy for herbs, compact flowering plants, small ferns, and cascading pothos that benefit from seeing and accessing a water reservoir.

• Succulents and cacti (use sparingly with wick), herbs, ivy, pothos, small orchids
• Flowers like petunias, impatiens, begonias, and African violets
• Works as a windowsill or tabletop planter when chains are removed

How easy is setup and maintenance?

Setup is straightforward: place the inner pot into the outer shell, thread the wick ropes into the reservoir, arrange soil and plant, and hang using the detachable chain. Routine care is simple—monitor the visible water level, refill the reservoir when low, and occasionally flush the inner pot to prevent salt buildup.

• Detachable chains allow hanging or tabletop use
• Transparent outer pot makes water checks fast and reliable
• Removable inner pot simplifies repotting and cleaning

This Melphoe 2-pack is ideal for busy plant lovers who want attractive, low-effort display options for small containers. If you travel, have limited time for daily watering, or want versatile pots that can hang outdoors or sit on a shelf, these planters give predictable moisture control without bulky accessories. They fit gardeners seeking durable, weather-resistant hanging solutions and anyone who appreciates visible reservoir monitoring to avoid over- or under-watering.
